I can't believe they're stupid enough to think that Trump is a Republican. He's neither. Both parties shat all over him during his entire campaign, so he owes them not just nothing, but less than nothing, hence the promise to institute the congressional term limits and anti-lobbying laws. And as everyone discovered over the last week (much to everyone's surprise), Trump is the first politician in history that will actually fulfill his campaign promises. There are a lot of really old geezers in Congress, especially on the Republican side, which won't like term limits one bit, so it'll require some negotiating skill to shove it down their throats. I hope Trump actually manages to pull this off in a way that's not easy to undo for president Michelle Obama in 2024.
- macintux 10y agoI'm waiting for Trump to fulfill his campaign promise to release his taxes once the audit is over.

- general_ai 10y agoHe will get the support through amazing feats of negotiation.
- raldi 10y agoThen how can you say "he owes them nothing"? If he wants to get any laws passed, he'll need to give them something.
- general_ai 10y agoHe can play them against Democrats. In fact I bet he will have to. He owes no allegiance to anyone but people who can re-elect him in 2020 if they think he did a good job. He understands that.
